The Internet of ‘Things’

The guys at IBM are pushing an idea called the Internet of Things, which is a way of saying that one day, everything — people, homes, weather, plants, oceans — in the world will be monitored and hooked up to networks.

The result? That depends on where you stand.

If you’re an uber-geeky nerd, i.e., if you stand in line for hours to buy tech stuff when it comes out, this is great.
